After writing to half a dozen similar listings, we decided to book with Ananya! The reasons we chose this listing over others were - location, value for money, and her very easy going and helpful nature!
Ananya's condo was cozy and everything we needed was there, even a welcome apple with a handwritten welcome note :) Cute.
The apartment is tucked away in a side street off Sathorn soi 1, so it isn't terribly busy, but you get everything you need within a 500 meter radius - A pharmacy, supermarket, laundromat, massage place, good italian pizza, ATMs, taxis, and even a small Muay Thai gym.
I was traveling with a young baby and the condo became a very comfy base for us. I was able to make simple meals on the hot plate for baby. The kitchen is basic, but well equipped for simple cooking.
On the 3rd day of our stay, Ananya kindly offered to bring us out for dinner and show us around, but I was so sick on the day that I had to cancel, I was extremely miserable and weak..and guess what this lovely lady did! She came all the way over,and brought me some delicious rice porridge (n
plus more for the next day) plus medication and Gatorade. I was very very touched by her act of kindness. The world needs more big hearted people like her. She is the epitome of Thai hospitality (that you just don't experience in a big city like Bangkok anymore.)
Thanks for being a wonderful host!
